Hello, sweet friends! I hope all our U.S. friends had a fun and safe Fourth of July. I had fun coloring this newly remixed digital image, and I also learned a new word - to me, anyway - but my DH the avid reader knew it. In the center is a skep, and it's amazing to see how they are hand woven. I enjoyed coloring the foxgloves and cosmos, along with the skep. (As an aside, for those of you who loved "Downton Abbey," Highclere Castle is where it was filmed. And Lord and Lady Carnarvon own it, and Lady Carnarvon has a blog. Here is the post about a new skep on the estate. It's actually quite an amazing blog and website that could easily keep one busy for many hours. Here's the main website to keep you enthralled. But I digress, so back to my card.
As I searched for a piece of DP, I came upon this adorable piece in a paper pad with these chubby little bees. Aren't they sweet? I am allergic to bees, so I stay clear of them IRL, but these were irresistible and helped me with my color combination. I used a stitched die and matted it with So Saffron, and then I thought it needed something else. I wanted to add this pretty taffeta ribbon, and wow did I fight with this bow! But, for the most part, I think I won. Haha!
Anyway, thanks for taking a closer look at my card, and I hope you like it. Have a wonderful rest of the week.

I'm late to the gate here....late June/July have been busy travel times for me. I look at your gallery from time to time, just to marvel at your beautiful cards. The coloring on this one is phenomenal(but then, when isn't you coloring phenomenal), Cheryl. As I have said before, PowerPoppy has a superior ambassador in YOU!!

There you go again - coordination at its finest! The bee dp and the image are darling especially with the little bees on the image to match the dp. Love that ribbon treatment and it goes without saying 'YOU ARE THE MASTER OF COPICS'!
